A scrappy strip quilt :: scrappy in the sense that I have used a variety of fabrics :: less scrappy is the layout with a regular 2 inch wide strip throughout. Perhaps not strictly low volume either, although it does read that way to me.
I am pleasantly surprised with how well these very different fabrics all play together and convey a sense of calm and a stillness despite the mix of pattern and color. Some of the feature fabrics used include:
- Sketchbook in Cream - Alchemy Organic by Amy Butler
- Ladylike in Tea Green - Carnaby Street by Pat Bravo
- Miss Daisy in Shasta Pink on Lace - Glamping by Mary Jane Butters
- Moroccan Lattice in Ebony - Mod Basics - Michael Miller
Again I have quilted the quilt with a straight lines but this time a set of horizontal lines just 1 inch apart and a set of 2 vertical lines running edge to edge through every second strip of fabric. For the quilt back I have used Pam Kitty Love Floral Bouquet yardage which is perfect for this quilt and is a fabric that I will need to re-stock as I rather adore it.

The same can be said for the binding fabric - Squared Elements by Art Gallery Fabrics - a fabric which I have previously used for quilt binding although in a different colorway . L o v e i t ... including all of the recently released new colors.

ReplyDeleteJust stunning!
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to amaze me Rita. Just love the fabrics and the quilting. Beautiful...........
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. TFS.
ReplyDeleteHi Rita I really like the different lengths of some of the rows of strips. I think it has a similar effect to the different size of some of the HST rows on your last quilt, giving both quilts extra dimension and depth. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI find it amazing how so many different fabrics work so well together, such a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I really want to do one of these but will need to get some low volume fabric first.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! The strawberry fabric is absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Rita!! I'm planning to bind my newest quilt finish with a Squared Element as well, I love the look of it!
